It was hard to believe that just four years before there’d been enough tag teams to form a 20 man match at Survivor Series. Okay so the Bolsheviks and Conquistadors weren’t top level, but they still existed.
Come 1992, and the tag scene was a shell of its former self. Makeshift teams, new teams, boring teams...it was such a contrast to a few years before. Sadly, it didn’t seem to get any better over the next few years.

When did Beverly bros vs money inc happen? Was it televised? Any storyline to it? Just after 'Mania 9. They had a match on Raw on April 19th 1993. |

How dare you forget High Energy! I think High Energy were 93. Don't remember then in 92...although there's a good chance I may be mistaken! I think the extreme blast of neon damaged my retinas and brain. They had their only PPV match at Survivor Series 92. |

You also had The Steiners in there aswell for basically all of 93 and part of 94 aswell. Not sure if they appeared at the end of 92 tho unless someone can tell me otherwise.

It was definitely the beginning of the tag division going down hill after it had been so strong from 86 through 91. Natural Disasters and Money Inc. I thought were fine as the top two teams fighting over the titles most of the year but after that it just goes off a cliff from a credibility standpoint as LOD weren't even around that much due to Hawk getting suspended for a few months early in the year and then flaking out after Summerslam which led to the end of their run in the company. Nasty Boys were still presented as threats but didn't have much going on storyline wise until their face turn towards the end of the year and nobody bought the Beverly Brothers, Bushwhackers, or High Energy as contenders.

Money Inc was always weird because they did NOT need Jimmy Hart. Ever. At all. Whatsoever. Disasters AND Nastys both turning face did nothing for them at all. Within a year of turning face Quake and Tugboat were pretty much done in the WWE, and within 6 months of their turn the Nastys were both gone too. Completely agree. The only thing I could think of to pair them with him was to make them seem like a legit team and not just two singles paired up. They could both talk and didn't need hart. The breakups of jimmy and nasty boys and disasters did nothing good. There was no build and no real reason for either team to need revenge. Just pointless. |

I always felt like they needed a silent bodyguard/enforcer or a sleazeball Heenan type. I saw a dark match live where they had Giant Gonzalez in their corner against Hogan and Beefcake, and even that was a better fit. |

I will admit to not seeing much of the program, but there was also a bit where the Beverlys rushed the lockerroom area where Money Inc were being interviewed and attacked them. |

I believe their first match was at the '93 Royal Rumble, against the Beverlys. If they appeared in 1992 I believe it was just promos hyping their debut. |
